A New Hydrodynamic Spherical Accretion Exact Solution and Its Quasi-spherical Perturbations

We present an exact γ = 5/3 spherical accretion solution that modifies the Bondi boundary condition of $\rho \to \mathrm{constant}$ as r → ∞ to ρ → 0 as r → ∞. This change allows for simple power-law solutions on the density and infall velocity fields, ranging from a cold empty freefall condition wh...
